　　參考譯文

　　Couplet

　　The couplet is a traditional form of Chinese poetry. They are also known as antithetical couplets, but are better described as counterpoints. These sentences are written on papers or cloth, or carved on bamboo, wood, or pillars. A couplet hung during the Spring Festival is called a spring couplet; during funerals, an elegiac couplet; and during weddings, a wedding couplet. With its neat and orderly counterpoints alongside harmonious level and oblique tones, it is a unique form of the Chinese language that uses one word for one tone. History says that the couplet’s origin can be traced back to Meng Chang, ruler of Later Shu of the Five Dynasties—making it a treasure of traditional Chinese culture. In 2005, the traditional couplet was added into the National Intangible Cultural Heritage list by the State Council of China.
